March Gallery Opening Soiree: Yana Kaz presents Synthetic Bloom

Opening Party (open to the public) for Yana Kaz’s Synthetic Bloom. Music by Sam Soulshack and Paul Revered.

Synthetic Bloom is a painting project by Yana Kaz that explores the relationship between artificial image generation and traditional studio practice through a series of oil paintings of flowers. The works begin with AI-generated botanical imagery — hyperreal, composite, and often impossible floral forms — which are then translated into tactile, materially rich canvases. The project examines a circular chain of imitation: digital systems trained on real-world images produce synthetic flowers, and the artist returns those images to physical reality through paint.
